Sick or something like it

Oh hey procrastination! I see that we are going to be friends today. It’s 11:30PM and I barely started studying for my test tomorrow for my culture class. My test is about film and I don’t see myself doing so well. Basically, I just have to know a bunch of directors. The only thing that I want to do is go to sleep because my throat is bothering me.

My throat feels so dry and I’m getting sick. No amount of water makes me throat feel better.

I’ve been sick lately and well I’ve mostly been sleeping. However, I’m a lot better now. Still feeling tired but that should go away soon. Everyone is well now, which is great because I don’t like being sick.

Back to normal life I go.

Today was okay. I had a test for my culture class and I realized I like learning about architecture. Buildings are interesting to learn about and St. Petersburg has so much history to it. I learned about buildings that I pass on a daily basis but I never give much thought to them. Now I want to visit the places that I learned about. I have been to most of them but there are a few that I have not been to yet.

I look forward to going to Turkey so much. I feel like a need a vacation away from Russia. I love this city, St. Petersburg, but this weather is just not good. It’s very inconsistant.

There isn’t any flow to this post but I’m too lazy to write. All that is on my mind is sleep.

Last thing, I went to go teach english today and even though I don’t do much, I like it. I help them by talking because they can hear the correct pronunciation of words.

That’s kind of it. I don’t have much to say. I had a plan as to what I wanted to say but I got distracted. Oh, well. It wasn’t really important anyway.

Oh silly sickness

Я плохо себя чувствую. Я думаю я болею гриппом, но не знаю. У меня болит голова и болит горло. У меня тоже насморк и температура.

I feel bad. I think I have the flu but I don’t know. My head hurts and I have a sore throat.  I also have a runny nose and a fever.

I don’t think I will be going to school tomorrow. Also I hope that I am better or well enough to go to the Rammstein concert. I really want to go and I’ve had my ticket since…I don’t remember when but months ago.

Downside of studying abroad- Your mom isn’t here to take care of you and to buy you your favorite soup (Campbell’s Chicken and Stars). That has been my favorite soup because it just makes me feel better because it makes me happy. It’s those stars, man. They’re magical. Now that soup always reminds me of happy memories with my mom.

Upside of studying abroad- My host mom is so sweet. She gave me some medicine after dinner. It tasted a bit funny but that’s okay. Woohoo for sweet host moms!

That’s about it for today. I’m going to go lay in bed and watch cartoons.

Last night I finally had my first New Year’s kiss with my boyfriend. We have been together for over 3 years and we never spent New Year’s eve together. I was really excited and that kiss was all I looked forward to last night. Sure, we didn’t do anything special for New Year’s eve but I had a great time. I love spending time with him.

Alrighty, enough of the lovey dovey stuff. Time to continue retelling my story of the last weeks of Fall semester in St. Petersburg, Russia. I will retell everyday so I’m going to be retelling about 2 weeks or maybe less. I don’t remember.

Activity of the day: Sleep

I woke up around noon then I went to the bathroom. My host mom usual sets up breakfast for me on the table but there wasn’t anything on the table today. I thought it strange because if she goes out she always leaves food for me there. So I made myself some tea and some toast. I couldn’t eat the toast. I wasn’t hungry and the tea was too hot to drink. Then I started to feel not so great so I didn’t drink the tea. Back to bed I went and I slept until 5pm. Of course, I kept tossing and turning. At one point I got up because I had to vomit and I felt so much better after I did. Then I went back to bed and slept some more. When I felt a little better, I showered but I still want to sleep. Soup would be very nice right now.

Sorry, that today’s post is not very interesting.

Today, I did not attend my classes because I felt a bit under the weather. I was feeling a lot better as the day progressed but not I am feeling a bit nauseous. Being sick is not fun but I was very productive today. Mostly because I did not know what to do with myself. Now I am going to go nap and hopefully I feel better afterwards.
